Everywhere I talk to people about the US, it is always referred as “the other side” (el otro lado). Tomorrow, we will finally end our 6 months (plus) in Mexico and trade tortas for sandwiches, manzanas for apples, queso for cheese but we’ll never trade the beauty of all we love of Mexico. Yesterday, Jamie returned to the canyon outside of La Laguna Sanchez, an area we found last year and fell in love all over again. Last year we were ready to move here but knew we needed to see more of the country. It is such an incredible area but the photos at Flickr just do not do it justice. I’m sure I’ll write more in the days to come, but I need to do a quick update as we’ll be out of contact for a little while. Michael is dreading the heat of Texas (well, we all are) and I contemplated heading to Chihuaua and then over to Presidio and then Alpine and Ft. Davis, but Jamie nixed that idea (and honestly, I’m not sure we’d make Chihuaua in one day). So, it is off to the oven that is Texas; spending summer at 5000-7000ft is our idea of air conditioning.

Where are you heading after Texas? We’re currently in southwestern Minnesota, getting ready to head over the Plains (S. Dakota, Wyoming, and either Idaho/Oregon or Colorado/Utah, depending if we head to Washington first or head straight to California.)
Will our paths ever cross? (sob, sob
)

Kitty, Well I just got caught up with reading all your posts for the last six weeks. Wow. What adventures you all have. Too bad there has been so much sickness too. I do hope that you are feeling better now and that Ellen has stopped being sick too. All the pics are so amazing. I can see why you are unable to stop taking pictures in Guanajuato. The colors are wonderful. It is strange to be back in the city from our six weeks of country/lake life. It is so bright here at night and so many noises.

No postings since last Saturday and here it is Thursday. Did you make it into Texas? How was the border crossing this time? Where will you be headed?
Love…
